Beneath the Branches - Orchard Walk and Talk

Step behind the scenes with this Walk and Talk, a relaxed 45-minute guided stroll through the working orchard at Hillside Harvest. Led by Allan or Paula, whose family have been orcharding in the district for over 100 years, this immersive walk invites you to wander the rows, ask questions, uncover the orchards story and the history of fruit growing in the Orange region. Along the way, learn how apples, cherries and stone fruit are nurtured through the seasons, and how fruit makes its journey from tree to table. Discover why Orange's unique soils and cool-climate make it one of Australia's most exciting fresh-produce regions. After the walk, guests are welcome to stay and explore — pick your own fruit if in season (orchard entry included), relax among the trees, or visit the farm shop and café showcasing local produce.
